3.Metal man

I don't know how old I was
I don't know how old i was
But it was a '65 pickup
But it was a '65 pickup
I was lying on the ground
I was lying on the ground
With flat iron bars over my head
With flat iron bars over my head

One silver drop is all you need
One silver drop is all you need
To put a hole in your head at 2000 degrees
To put a hole in your head at 2000 degrees
That's right man, you be the Metal Man
That's right man, you be the metal man
At 2000 degrees
At 2000 degrees

That's hot *2
That's hot

That's hot
And over my head the hot wire was sparking

I got something down on my chest
And over my head the hot wire was sparking
And it began to bubble
I got something down on my chest

And it began to bubble
I was her parent, my three in a tree

When a drip dropped down on me
I was repairing my three on a tree
That's right man, I'm the Metal Man
When a drip dropped down on me
At 2000 degrees
That's right man, i'm the metal man

At 2000 degrees
That's hot

That's hot

(in the background there is a conversation between a man
And a woman. what they are saying is anyone's guess!)

5.When i was a painter

In side lakes of corduroy I've been
In side lakes of quarterly(?) i've been
Heard stories of velveteen
Heard stories of air velveteen
Twenty hours later I fill the room
Twenty hours later i fill the room
With bad sex and bad TV
With bad sex and bad tv

Go, go, go *2

When I was a painter I painted you well
When i was a painter i painted you well
Too bad I have to die
Too bad i have to die
You brought the essentials, perversion appeal
You brought the essentials, perversion appeal
And many lovers at one time
And many lovers at one time

Go, go, go *2
Now, now
On and on, on, on

In side lakes of corduroy I've been
In side lakes of quarterly(?) i've been
Heard stories of velveteen

With bad sex and bad TV
With bad sex and bad tv

Go, go, go *2
Go, go, go *2

24.When I Was A Painter

In side lakes of corduroy I've been
In side lakes of quarterly(?) i've been
Heard stories of velveteen
Heard stories of air velveteen
Twenty hours later I fill the room
Twenty hours later i fill the room
With bad sex and bad TV
With bad sex and bad tv

Go, go, go *2

When I was a painter I painted you well
When i was a painter i painted you well
Too bad I have to die
Too bad i have to die
You brought the essentials, perversion appeal
You brought the essentials, perversion appeal
And many lovers at one time
And many lovers at one time

Go, go, go *2
Now, now
On and on, on, on

In side lakes of corduroy I've been

With bad sex and bad TV
With bad sex and bad tv
